On Tuesday morning I received a phone call from Sr. Frances of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Enfield. She telephoned to say that she just called the Chancery and spoke to the Chancellor, Father Ryan Lerner, and told him that our parish was “the most awesome and wonderful people.” He asked her “why” and she listed all that this parish (and that means all of you!) have done for the Little Sisters of the Poor, including the loads and loads of donations that Sherry Cordani and Tina Yablonski just delivered Monday from last week’s Lenten Mercy Project.

Sr. Frances said when the deliveries were made, “it was like Christmas morning” as the sisters counted and organized the gifts for their storage pantry. “Your people are amazing and we cannot thank you enough,” she said.

Let me reiterate Sister’s words of thanks and praise to all of you. You are amazing! You are Christ to so many and in so many different and unique ways: from the generous giving by so many parishioners to the dedication and compassion of Tina and Sherry for organizing and executing this ministry, and for so much more—thank you so much!
